There is a winding staircase up the inside of it for people to go to the top of it, it originally was intended to have a room at the top of it so that people could have a fine view of the sea and the country from it, it is still in an unfinished state owing principally to the right of way leading to it being lost through the property and lands being sold to a different proprietor; it is built on an artificial Mound of earth about 6 ft [feet] in height with a stone wall around it. |
